鯊魚的鱗片透過操縱體表附近的流體流動來影響游泳時的阻力和推力。
(Scales on sharks influence drag and thrust during swimming by manipulating fluid flow next to the body.)

靈長類動物的指尖藉其皺紋增強在潮濕狀況下的抓握能力。
(Fingertips of primates enhance grip in wet conditions by wrinkling.)

短鰭鯖鯊和一些金槍魚的身體設計得宜，能夠快速、高效地游泳， 這要歸功於其內部化的紅肌肉以及與力量傳遞系統相關聯的構造。
(The bodies of shortfin mako sharks and some tuna are designed for fast, efficient swimming thanks to internalized red muscle associated with a force-transmission system.)

南澳大利亞大學的監視無人機利用尾部仰角和推力來控制滑翔和懸停。
(Surveillance drones from University of South Australia use tail elevation and thrust to control gliding and hovering.)

樹幹和樹枝透過負載適應性生長承受外部壓力。
(Trunks and branches of trees withstand external stresses through load- adaptive growth.)

獨特的結構使鮣魚能夠頑強的粘附在水下的各種表面。
(Unique structures give fish the ability to adhere tenaciously to a variety of surfaces under water.)

像心臟一樣運行的泵，管道中的阻力減少了 27%，整體能源效率比常規連續運行的泵提高了 9%。
(Pump to operate like a heart, however, in both being pulsatile and having a rest phase, turbulent flow in the pipe became laminar. The result was a 27% reduction in drag and a 9% overall improvement in energy efficiency over a conventional continuously running pump.)
